Go Six Example

An example for how to use 6RiverSystems/gosix to build a simple application

make # does everything

There are other make targets to run individual steps as well

Environment variables

How the app runs is controlled by several environment variables

• NODE_ENV
  • Set to one of test, acceptance, development, or production
  • Defaults to development
  • test will default it to using SQLite instead of PostgreSQL
• LOG_LEVEL
  • Set to one of trace, debug, info, warn, error
  • Defaults to info in production, or debug elsewhere
• DATABASE_URL
  • Set to either postgres://... or sqlite://... to use a specific database

Debugging

There are vscode launch configs for the app.
